Ten Questions With… Daithi Mc Hugh (Timeslip Softworks)

Metrocide

Metrocide

There’s no denying that Metrocide is a very hard and frequently frustrating game. Spend enough time with it though and you’ll learn to appreciate the punishing difficulty level. Your first few kills might be sloppy and chaotic, but with practice you’ll be able to take down your marks with precision and stealth. It takes a lot of patience and dedication to get anywhere in this game, but it is quite satisfying when you pull off the perfect kill. Just be aware that the game can become repetitive.

Gameplay: If one hit kills and permadeaths are not your thing then neither will Metrocide.

Graphics: The 8-bit aesthetic takes a while to get used to, but the visuals are not without their charm.

Sound: No real soundtrack, but the ambient audio is very atmospheric

Gameplay: Retro style side scrolling action that packs quite a challenge.

Graphics: Beautiful hand drawn pixel art.

Sound: A rocking chiptune soundtrack that compliments the action nicely
